Lindsay Brewer — Biography

Returning to racing after a four-year absence for education, Brewer made her competitive comeback in 2019 when she entered the Las Vegas Saleen Cup GT Series for its final event. During preparations for the 2022 W Series season, she participated in an evaluation drive at Inde Motorsports Park in Arizona, where her performance placed her among the top three lap times within her group and earned her selection as one of the twelve best drivers. Despite this success, she did not secure a seat for the series.

For the 2022 campaign, Brewer chose to pursue open-wheel racing in a mixed-gender environment rather than an all-female series, signing with Exclusive Autosport to race in the IndyPro 2000 series as a rookie. Her series debut occurred at Indianapolis with an eighth-place result. Later that year at Road America, a kerb at turn five catapulted her vehicle into the air, mirroring an accident experienced by Christian Bogle in the Indy Lights series that same weekend. Brewer concluded her inaugural season in fifteenth overall with 98 points, her highest finish being the eighth-place effort in Indianapolis. She committed to continuing with Exclusive Autosport for 2023, the inaugural year of the restructured USF Pro 2000 series, though she achieved an eighteenth-place season finish without surpassing eleventh place in any event.

In 2024, Brewer advanced to Indy NXT with Juncos Hollinger Racing driving the No. 76 car, becoming the first American female competitor in the series since Leilani Munter competed in 2007. Gtechniq and C4 Energy provided major sponsorship backing. At St Pete, she recorded a top-fifteen result, though she finished nineteenth at Barber Motorsports Park ahead of Jamie Chadwick. At Road America, she placed sixteenth as the final driver on the lead lap. Before summer oval races, Brewer completed an Indy NXT test at Milwaukee Mile in June, finishing eighteenth overall and completing 151 laps. Shortly thereafter, Juncos Hollinger Racing secured a sponsorship partnership with Old Milwaukee Non-Alcoholic beer.

At Laguna Seca's two-race mid-season round, Brewer finished seventeenth in the opening race after a final-lap collision with Yuven Sundaramoorthy, then took fifteenth in the second event. In July, Juncos Hollinger Racing announced Brewer's temporary departure due to unmet contractual commitments, creating a driver shortage for Mid-Ohio when second driver Ricardo Escotto's part-time schedule left the team without coverage.
